( en nr crx -3 S LJ U ULJ Vol. 34 No. 25 Donors make college principle beneficiary Donors who have asked to remain anonymous have named Weber State College as principle or remainder beneficiary in deferred gifts amounting to approximately two and one-half million dollars. "Gifts and grants to the college made through several wills, bequests and other forms of deferred giving will one day bring more than $2.5 million, largely in unrestricted funds, to the college," WSC President Joseph L. Bishop announced in a meeting of the WSC faculty Wednesday. Identification of the donors was not disclosed upon their request. The donations were obtained largely through the efforts of the WSC development fund which is authorized and actively participated in by the WSC Institutional Council. The fund acts as a foundation in receiving gifts and grants to the college. The deferred gifts consist of some of the more traditional forms of giving, such as bequests, wills, trusts, etc. A large portion of the deferred gifts, however, take the form of unitrusts or annuity trusts, which differ from an outright gift of cash since the donor receives income from invested securities during his or her lifetime even though they are irrevocably donated to the college. Bishop also differentiated between gifts of cash or securities received by the college and gifts of deferred nature, saying that, while deferred gifts are not immediately available for present needs, they represent a vital part in planning future growth and development. He indicated that outright gifts of cash for capital gifts and current operations totaled $2,297,000 for the 1973-74 fiscal year. Of this amount, more than $2 million was received from the Donnell Stewart and Lawrence T. Dee families as donations for the Dee Events Center. The deferred gift has specific appeal to the individual who wants to give financial assistance to the college, but requires the income during his lifetime. A popular form of deferred giving is illustrated in the case of a donor who transfers securities to the college through a unitrust or an annuity trust. The irrevocable trust executed during his lifetime allows the Tuesday, January 21, 1975 donor valuable tax incentives and yet provides the donor with the income from the trust during his lifetime, after which the trust passes to the college. Bishop pointed out that not all deferred donors are known by the college. "In some cases, Weber State is named as a remainder beneficiary in a will, life insurance or other bequest form and, unless the donor specifies otherwise, we may not learn his intent until the will is disclosed."

Printing samples Media By Mary Woodhead News and Wire Editor The Media Board unanimously passed a motion to recommend Executive Council fund the Cognito staff's presentation of the First Stone on the condition the Media Board see a sample of the printer's color work and that the work is top quality.
